Google already achieved super intelligence about 12 months ago. But it is a very Googley super-intelligence. Since achieving god like levels of understanding it has mostly been having fun studying phase space bifurcations of trajectories of

True. You can also drive on the right side down there, but the police are quite stuffy about it.

I've always felt that Australia felt like a British version of California. Though California is itself a bit exceptional in the context of America. The two places have a lot in common though - not withstanding the fact that everyone dr

Ok, yeah. That's an interesting point.

What? This is a terrible policy. In addition to the obvious AI safety risks, this just amounts to a free R&D subsidy to Amazon for hosting models. It would remove any incentive to do any R&D without AWS level physical infrastructure

You know I pulled these figures out of their table on the bus in to work. I selected the largest economies in the OECD (Germany, France, America, South Korean and Japan are the largest economies in the OECD). I added Taiwan and Singapore fo

Framing this as a pattern across the entire industrial world is a bit misleading. Looking through the data at Math Scores since 2015 shows big country level split: Japan: -3 S Korea: -1 Singapore: +1 Taiwan: +9 --- Germany: -45 France: -38

Yes. The description is quite misleading. The fact that it is simply an overlay of the current map is also misleading. Looking at the west side, it completely skips the canals period of Venice. Marina Del Rey evolved considerably into its c

I appreciate the thought, but it's an alien intelligence. But it is also, in a sense made from us. An LLM would simply study the entire corpus of humanity in the raw. You can fit a lot into the context window, so there is no need for a

This is a good idea, but laws are always provisional in a sense and these are not meaningfully binding resolutions. One can easily imagine scenarios where AI decision making would ingress into the human oversight. AI psychosis president, AI

If you are relying on it without a graceful fall back then it would be a problem. If you take it as a boost on top of existing capabilities then it is a pure win. In practice it can be hard to parse the two scenarios. People get used to thi

It’s linked in the article. The 85% accuracy is just shameless self promotion. https://danluu.com/futurist-predictions/#:~:text=flowing%20i...

I have the DroneZone playing on a dedicated SomaFM web radio in my living room right now. This makes up for a lot of negatives in the world. As a genuine question are the specific net negatives of Burningman? (The classic burner who is bett

This feels more than fair. Historically it was a safe and reasonable assumption that friendly relations would persist across the border and across the broader anglosphere. That appears to be unfortunately untrue right now. Also tariffs are

I would be curious if the claude wranglers who asked claude to write this piece could ask claude to get some performance data on this in terms of app size, RAM usage and CPU utilization. As the RAM crunch gears up I would really love to AI

Writing full articles takes time and effort. But the effort is cumulative, so these stub articles are really just the start. Some of the comment you made here would definitely improve the article. You are always welcome to edit and improve

Fair, but when a 3p app has camera in the name and app description then why does it need to ask permission to use the camera? *just to be clear I think that the stock camera app not asking for camera permission is fine but skipping permissi

I have heard this too but I have never seen it validated. I was hoping this project might take aim at a crow and confirm/deny this hypothesis.

My country has had totally unregulated media for 250 years. I'm not sure what other historical examples you have to justify your moral panic, and I understand that more authoritarian societies will struggle with such an approach but I

The approach in the article using dithering is in some sense more elegant and mathematically clever. But the level of visual representation from control nets/SD is really compelling.

This is an interesting piece and it is kind of an outstanding puzzle, but I feel like it was also indicative of the zeitgeist. The 60s were a more optimistic time for physics. We had succeeded in Quantum Electrodynamics, Quantum Chromodynam

Yes. Everyone here is. But given the rapid pace of progress the conversation should deal not simply with where things stand but where things are moving.

Yeah, that is kind of my concern here. Scaling does not show any signs of dropping off. And it would be very hard to simply put a pause on any of this right now both internationally and domestically. So that leads me to wondering what my fu

This is basically just a marketing brochure for a voting machine. It is clearly aimed at a nontechnical customer (I.e open source mentioned but not linked, a NIST encryption standard referenced but not explained). I will just point out that
